Range of Iris Adjustment CLOSE (Closed) F16. . . . F1. 6 OP (Opened)i0dB. . . OPi18dB The nearer to [CLOSE] a value you select, the darker the picture becomes. The nearer to [OPi18dB] a value you select, the brighter the picture becomes. The figures with idB show the Gain-up value, if you increase the value too much, the picture quality deteriorates. ³Manually adjusting the shutter speed after performing manual iris adjustment changes the iris back to automatic adjustment. Therefore, if you want to adjust both the shutter speed and iris manually, be sure to adjust the shutter speed first. ³Increasing the Gain-up value also increases the graininess of the picture. ³Depending on the zoom magnification, some iris values may not be displayed.
